My passion is for a church that takes young people and youth ministry seriously. I am looking for how that might be.
I am a Third Order Franciscan and a Priest in the Anglican Church in Aotearoa - New Zealand. I have been involved in ministry among young people for the last 23 years. I am now a vicar of a small parish on a very historic site here in Tauranga, trying to live out all I have learnt about faith, life and ministry.
I am married with three great children.
